Who or what is your inspiration in business?

To talk about business inspiration is to talk about the intersection of utility and empathy. For me, the spark isn't found in a spreadsheet or a market cap; it’s found in the moment a friction point in someone’s life is smoothed over by a thoughtful solution. I am inspired by the transition from "This is broken" to "I can fix this."

How do you stay motivated?

My motivation is like a fire—I've learned to not just light it and walk away; but to keep adding fuel and clearing out the ash to keep it burning bright. :-) ​

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were handed $25,000 today, my approach wouldn’t be about a single "big bet." Instead, I’d view it as a toolkit for asymmetric growth—investing in areas where a relatively small amount of capital can create a massive, long-term ripple effect.
